My system seems to work differently than jgo's. My system uses NetInfo by default, but if I uncomment the line in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf to use the file /etc/mail/aliases, it then uses BOTH NetInfo and /etc/mail/aliases. Is this the expected behavior? (it doesn't seem to be the way it's working on jgo's system based on his posts) -Rich
